Trial 2, Grape Cure Day 2
Second start of the grape cure is underway. I have to be honest, I’ve cheated already. 🤦🏽♀️ I know, I know. I don’t have an extenuating circumstance, I simply gave in.
Day 1 - was at breakfast and dinner. This made me realize that intermittent fasting is totally my thing. I’ve never had an unsuccessful day with that. However, I’m understanding that once I start to eat, my greedy mind and body doesn’t want to stop. The Grape Cure wants you to eat every two hours. Although the grapes are incredibly satisfying, that type of schedule makes me want to eat grapes and anything else that I can get my hands on. So for Tuesday, day 2, I decided to do a little Grape Cure tweaking.
Day 2 - I tweaked by starting my intake a little after 9am, instead of 8am. I still utilized the full 12 hours. The day went well but it was 3 freaking pieces of CANDY that I allowed to derail me!!! That’s right, candy. The very same sugar that I keep telling myself will be my next goal once I conquer the full 30 days caught me slipping today. I felt focused today and did well at work, but the minute that I was free, my mind went blank. I totally forgot that I wasn’t supposed to be eating crap. I was in mid-swallow before it dawned on me that I was eating. Talk about an “ain’t this bout a bitch” moment. So I finished my 🍭 🍬 and came on home. Once I got here, I really contemplated eating a meal, but I didn’t.
The goal here is to go 7 full days on the The Grape Cure, then eventually go the full 30. I can’t get to the first goal of 7 if I keep cheating. You can’t accomplish anything without working in some aspect. It’s worth the work and tomorrow will be better. I’ll just stay away from the office staff and their free candies. Intheir defense, they didn’t make me eat it. 😎
Take away a for this go ‘round
- still mental
- a focused mind is the only way to do this
- start after 9am, instead of 8am
- a little pep talk goes a long way
- until you’re solid, you might have to hurt some feelings
- I am incredibly aware of my bodies emotional and physical needs. Not the worse thing, just working through whatever come up through full-circle self care
Thanks for staying up to date with me and my journey.
Sending lots of good vibrations your way.
